This field of soybeans was still green on Sept. 23, 2013 and would’ve been damaged if there had been frost then, says Manitoba Agriculture pulse specialist Dennis Lange. While the farmers grew early-maturing varieties a cool summer and lots of rain delayed crop maturity. One of these years some of Manitoba’s soybeans will be damaged by a fall frost and likely slow the pace of soybean expansion, he said.

Three million acres of Manitoba soybeans by 2022?

Continued growth is possible, even probable, but there will be other factors  weighing in against continued runaway growth

By Allan Dawson January 5, 2017

If the trendline continues soybean acres in Manitoba could easily top three million acres in just five more years — but don’t necessarily bet the farm on it. That’s the message Manitoba Agriculture pulse crops specialist Dennis Lange brought to the recent Manitoba Agronomists’ Conference on Dec. 14 at the University of Manitoba. He foresees

Agronomy will be key to growing soybean acreage

As the crop becomes a major feature of Manitoba fields, there will also be more challenges popping up for growers

By Allan Dawson January 5, 2017

If soybean acres continue to rise as expected, farmers are going to have to be vigilant, Dennis Lange said. “Rotation, rotation, rotation (is) very important,” he said. In the early years farmers didn’t see a yield reduction seeding soybeans on soybean stubble. But crop insurance data shows between 2008 and 2012 planting back-to-back soybeans resulted

Brazil’s export lull sets stage for record soybean shipments: Braun

The current lull in shipments is exactly that, rather than a withdrawal from the market

By Karen Braun December 28, 2016

If there is a silver lining to Brazil’s recent shortcomings in grain exports, the country is now more prepared than ever to pump out big volumes in 2017, perhaps to the dismay of its competitors. Brazil is the No. 1 and No. 2 shipper of soybeans and corn, respectively, but earlier this year, the drought-stricken

Recent trade mission suggests demand for food and feed soybeans will continue to grow in that country

China is going to be an important and growing market for all types of Canadian soybeans for the foreseeable future. Soy Canada says it was told loud and clear both food and feed soybeans will continue to be in demand while participating in a recent federal trade mission to China. China is the Canadian soybean

Brazil is muscling in on the peak season for U.S. soybean sales to China, the world’s biggest buyer, as major producers vie to slim down bulging stockpiles after four years of record global output. In deals signed recently, exporters from the Latin American country have sold four shipments to China for delivery in November and

Soybean yields may be major thorn in bulls’ sides: Braun

All signs are pointing to a bin-busting U.S. soybean crop that could upend markets

By Karen Braun October 21, 2016

Expectations surrounding the U.S. soybean crop keep growing. Not only is a reality check in order — in terms of whether such big yields are even possible — but the impact on domestic stocks may be of greater interest. Analysts were expecting soybean yields to rise to 51.5 bushels per acre in the U.S. Department

Not all Manitoba soybeans are in the bin yet, but once they are it’s expected the provincial average yield will set a new record.

Record provincial soybean yield on horizon

As of Oct. 13 an estimated 70 to 75 per cent of Manitoba soybeans had been harvested

By Allan Dawson October 21, 2016

When Manitoba’s soybean harvest is all safely in the bin the average yield is expected to be above the 10-year average and will probably set a record. “Overall, fields have been pretty good this year provincially,” Dennis Lange, Manitoba Agriculture’s pulse specialist, said Oct. 13 in an interview. “We are probably looking maybe at 40

As the harvest window continues to shrink, getting remaining crops off the field before winter sets in is causing farmers to worry about poor prices due to lower quality.

Manitoba farmers aren’t alone when it comes to grappling with a rainy harvest. North America’s wettest harvest in about five years is hiking farmers’ costs as they dry crops to avoid spoilage and forcing them to take price discounts that are pinching incomes already under stress.

Fall frost can cut soybean yields and reduce quality, but fortunately this year most Manitoba soybean fields are now mature enough that frost would do little damage, says Manitoba Agriculture’s pulse specialist Dennis Lange.

Soybean yields are now largely locked in — but quality could still take a hit for future frosts.

Light frost but little to no soybean damage

Good growing conditions allowed the crop to escape damage, but it underlines the importance of the right variety

Temperatures hovered at or just below freezing across much of the province both Sept. 13 or 14, but apart from a few clipped leaves, there was little damage to soybeans. Soybean producers are always worried about an early frost with the long-season heat-loving crop, but this time the crop had advanced enough to prevent damage,
